Temu accounting with KudTax
Connect Temu to KudTax through the API or use file import. Check the data scope and file format for your accounting workflow.
Temu brings very many very small orders, and with them questions that rarely come up on other marketplaces: who owes import VAT when the goods come from a third country, and when does the marketplace act as deemed supplier? At five-figure order counts a month, what decides the outcome is not the individual entry but whether the rule is automated cleanly.

What to watch for with Temu
On third-country goods the marketplace often owes the tax
On consignments from a third country to private customers the marketplace counts as supplier under certain conditions and remits the VAT itself. Taxing that turnover again in your own return declares it twice — and at these volumes that is not an isolated case.
Very many tiny amounts need a rule, not handwork
At order values of a few euros the cost of entering each one quickly exceeds the value of the transaction. Summary entries are the only workable answer here, but only while the individual transactions behind them stay intact and open to sampling.
